Definitions
- the present invention relates to a key made of metallic material.
- Such keys are usually formed monolithically with a characteristic metallic color or can be provided with applied portions made of colored plastics.
- the keys that are most commonly used are formed monolithically from metallic material and have the particularity that they are difficult to tell apart.
- plastic applied portions are used; they are provided in various colors but are in any case an additional accessory to the key.
- the aim of the present invention is to provide a key which allows immediate visual confirmation even in different orientations of the key.
- an object is to provide a key which allows to save material with respect to conventional keys.
- Another object is to provide keys having a very wide choice of colors.
- Another object is to provide a key whose color can be changed at will.
- a key made of metallic material which comprises a grip part and a blade, characterized in that said grip part is ring-shaped, with a radial opening, for the removable coupling of a complementarily shaped insert made of a different material.
- a key according to the present invention is generally designated by the reference numeral 10.
- the key 10 comprises a grip part 11 which is monolithic with respect to a blade 12.
- the grip part 11 is constituted by a circular ring 13 provided with a radial opening 14 which lies in the direction of the longitudinal extension of the blade 12.
- the radial opening 14 allows the elastic deformation of the ring 13 for the interlocking of an insert 15 made of plastics or of a different metal, which is shaped complementarily to the ring 13.
- the insert 15 is provided with a circumferential slot 16 which allows an optimum removable but nonetheless stable interlocking with the ring 13.
- the insert 15 is provided with a hole 17 which allows to group a plurality of keys of the type 10 in a key-holder, which is not shown in the figure but is in any case of a per se known type.
- the hole 17 is usually arranged in the end portion of the key 10 and substantially in the direction of the longitudinal extension of the blade 12.
- the insert 15 is shaped so as to have a single radial arrangement.
- the insert 15 is further provided with a tab 20 which is arranged in a radial direction and couples to the radial opening 14.
- the tab 20 is shaped complementarily to the radial opening 14 and can assume a substantially radial and straight shape 21 or a dovetail shape 22, in which the larger portion 23 is arranged toward the outside of the key 10, or can comprise a flat portion 24 arranged on the outside of the key 10.
- the insert 15 can be concave on one or both of the surfaces 26 in order to facilitate grip of the key 10.
- the insert 15 made of plastics or of a different metal can of course assume many colors and/or metallic colorings and this allows to immediately identify the intended key 10 and to choose the color that one prefers to identify a certain key.
- the key 10 in addition to being easily recognizable when viewed flat, can also be easily distinguished by virtue of the presence of the tab 20 when grouped in a bunch if it is viewed from the grip portion 11.
- the keys are easy to tell apart both when viewed flat and when viewed from one end, facilitating their identification if they are gathered in bunches.
- grip portions that can be provided need not be circular; they may also be square or hexagonal or otherwise shaped, so long as said shape is elastically deformable by means of the radial opening.
- the materials employed may be any according to requirements.
